SARABANDE A Note From Steven King

When | met Sam Raimi at the Cannes Film Festival in May of 1982, my first thought was
that this fellow was one of three things: a busboy, a runaway American high school
student, or a genius. He wasn’t a busboy, and Raimi finished high school some time ago,
although he has the sort of ageless sophomore looks that are going to keep bartenders
asking to see his driver’s license or state liquor card until he’s at least thirty-five. That he
is a genius is yet unproven; that he has made the most ferociously original horror film of
1982 seems to me beyond doubt.

Raimi, a Michigan native now quartered near Detroit, was twenty when he directed and
wrote Evil Dead. (He was also one of the cameramen, assisted in the first half by Tim
Philo.) His producer, Rob Tapert, was twenty-six. The gruesome special effects were
achieved in tandem by Tom Sullivan, twenty-four, and Bart Pierce, who is all of thirty. The
five stars were college kids. The film was shot in sixteen millimeters and blown up to
thirty-five for theatrical release. The resulting effect is grainy but oddly apt; the film has a
weirdly convincing documentary look that no one has seen since George Romero’s Night
of the Living Dead, a film Raimi admits was a strong influence.

The Evil Dead has the simple, stupid power of a good campfire story - but its simplicity is
not a side effect. It is something carefully crafted by Raimi, who is anything but stupid.
Five college students on a holiday, two boys and three girls, find a deserted cabin and an
ancient book - a Love craftian Book of the Dead - that turns them into unkillable
zombies, one by one, until only the film’s star, Bruce Campbell, is left. The only way to
get rid of these zombies - the evil dead - is by dismemberment. Luckily a chainsaw is
handy, and....

And it doesn’t sound like much.

Well, neither does Hansel and Gretel nor Bluebeard in the hands of an untalented teller.
What Raimi achieves in Evi/ Dead is a black rainbow of horror.

Steven King
